I'm basically dead. What now?

So, I just started playing on Friday. I leveled up quickly to level 4, and now I'm getting attacked. (I get it. It's all part of the game, and I'm not whining about it.) I apparently can't lose my main city, but I also don't really see how to emerge from simply being constantly raided by the better players. Is there something I can do, or is this basically it for me?

I kind of like the game, but I've obviously not started out so well. I'd love to be able to start over. Do I get a chance to join a new server when one comes open? If so, when would that be?

If you want, you can buy coins and buy protection with them, and also move your cities far away from others.
Finding a good alliance would be a great step in helping you..
When you make your new cities, make it somewhere difficult to find so it reduces your chances of being attacked

Use your resources asap, every upgrade counts

Also, send your troops hunting.

Gee, I'm not going to pay to simply survive in a game I barely understand. I'm enjoying it, but I'm not hooked to the point of insanity yet.

Moving to a different location hardly seems helpful either. You can just look up the user name on the map and it takes you right to them.

Looks like I'm done with this game. As a new user, I'm disappointed that there's not a better way to learn from immediate failure. Hopefully others will have a better experience.

yes u can look up the username but they wont bother if ur that far away

also if one person is farming u then ask them to stop

also try going to world chat and ask some other players to attack him

as said above joining an alliance does help

1. Invest upgrading your cranny
2. Keep your resources low so they wont be able to farm you. Spend it upgrading and building an army.
3. The army you do have send them out hunting, that way they wont touch them.


You do all of those, you will never be farmed.

Also invest in upgrading your cropland, most important of all the minerals.

What you need to do is make it not worth it to other players. You are low level, so that helps. Once you are over level 10 or so, it doesn't really make sense to raid low level players, forts are much better.

Upgrade your cranny! If they aren't getting any resources, they will move on to a juicier target.

Build traps! If attackers start losing troops, and not getting any resources, they are sure to look elsewhere for easy targets.

Do not keep troops in your cities. If you do, that is just easy prestige, and even a higher level player won't have any problem going into a level 4 player's city just to wipe out a few cats or inf. Hunt your troops anytime you are not actively playing.

Join the best alliance you can. I frequently pass up targets if I know they are in a high ranked active alliance. A crappy alliance may deter some, but if I don't recognize the name, I will look it up. If it isn't in the top 50 on my server, I won't even blink before I attack.

Don't stockpile excess resources. Before you log off, use up all your resources to upgrade buildings, traps, or build troops. If there is nothing to steal, there is no reason to attack.

You don't have to make yourself invincible, you just have to make it not worth it to attack yourself. Levels 5-10 are probably when you will be most vulnerable. You are high enough that you may have something in there worth raiding, but unlikely to have an army that will be of any trouble to the attacker.

One more thing... send messages to all the people who attack you. If it's the same person over and over again, ask him/her to stop. If that person does not listen, ask your alliance for help. Don't give up on this game so easily. It's very fun once you get into it.

I agree, but I just wanted to point out that it is important to be polite. If you are a jerk you will provoke them. If you are nice, they might even invite you to join their alliance.
